Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Rhaphidophora hookeri looks to be the correct name for this plant. I got it under the name Stenospermation but was later ID as Rhaphidophora hookeri. The leaves are paddle shaped usually 1 foot long to 5 inches wide with rippled veins down the leaves. The leaves tend to fall off the base of the old vines as it continues to climb. An interesting aroid that I have not seen in other collections.
Foliage: Large green paddle shaped leaves
Flowers: Yellow spath
Height: Climber
